I think veterinarians take a course in humor. I think their job is difficult and so to help them cope they play practical jokes on their patients owners. Like for instance, when my vet comes out and gives me a vial and tells me to bring back a urine sample form my 100 lb dog. Then the next day she calls me and says she needs my dogs temperature. There is only one place you can get that. Then there are the prescriptions. The series of pills that are so large that the dog constantly spits them out. Of course by this time the dog just hides whereever he can to avoid all of this. If you do find him, he just plants his feet so you have to drag him. I wonder sometimes if they don’t put a hidden camera on the dogs just to watch you try all these fun things. Anyway, I think there really should be a vet sitcom called “Prank the Owners”.
People, our costs have gotten to a point it is difficult to not lose money. Six years ago our two largest expenses, food cost and labor were 50%. This last month those two areas reached over 70%. That leaves only 30% for 25 other expense categories including rent, insurance, and payroll taxes. I hate raising prices so I will bring the discount for email customers down to 5% on the week days with no discount on the weekends.
Thank you for understanding.
